February 20 Friday
Chicago's ICY DEMONS have spent the last few years on the road, honing their chops and sharing stages with everyone from Slint and Of Montreal to Arcade Fire and Man Man. The group blends elements of dub, minimalism and futuristic prog-rock stylings to create a pleasantly hypnotic sound where slow and soft-focus rhythm reigns supreme. Atlanta piano man Jeffrey Bützer and his band the Midwives open with lush, classy and timeless avant-garde pop excursions. $6-$8. 10 p.m. 529, 529 Flat Shoals Ave. 404-228-6769. www.529atl.com.
